I'm having a hard time breathing.
I went to my mother's house to help her with some work. She was ironing some sheets and spraying them with a product called "Linen Water." I had a allergic reaction to this stuff. It dried my lungs and throat. This was 2 hours ago, but my breathing is getting worse. It didn't seem to bother my mother, but i'm now gasping....This sucks.

I'm making some hot eucalyptus tea to see if that helps. If not, i'm going to the ER.

1. Please call 9-1-1- or go to the ER now.
Any difficulty in breathing is a true emergency.

2. Go get some Benadryl at the nearest drugstore
preferable the children's liquid, and take it ASAP!

If it's really bad, please call 911 or get yourself to an emergency room! This is called anaphylaxis

a health emergency

Try a ginger compress on your chest
lotus root tea will also help. But don't fuck around. Get thee to a hospital, my friend.
